@Karen__Harkin A8: I think one of the things we need to teach our students are some of the dangers associated with technology. Especially younger students. I don't think they see that nearly enough. #USFMedTechZ
@Karen__Harkin A7: Absolutely. As a science teacher I think it is incredibly important for students to learn problem-solving skills. I think it is one of the biggest things we lack in schools today. #USFMedTechZ
@Karen__Harkin A6: I think in some ways yes, but we could be doing a much better job overall. These are important skills that many students are still lacking. #USFMedTechZ
@Karen__Harkin A5: I'm not sure that it is. I feel like I'm better with tech than many of the older teachers, but as I get older the new teachers will be better than I am. I think the divide can be narrowed, but not eliminated totally.#USFMedTechZ
@AAS_MsSinclair @Karen__Harkin A3: Lockport has a lot of the same stuff. We have chromebooks and before/after time for students as well as tutoring throughout the day. This is all helpful for catching up with tech work.
Hi everyone, my name is Adam Wason. This summer I'm staying home with my 3 boys Ben, Zach, and Drew. We're playing lots of baseball and visiting the pool. #USFMEdTechZ
@MissLudlam I couldn't agree more. I tell my students all the time that listening is an important skill they need, even if they don't like doing it. The real world isn't always going to accommodate you with handouts. #edtechusf677
@mchs_ogden I had to listen to it a second time too. I was zoned out until I heard the ending, then I had to go back and listen to it again. #edtechusf677
I use google read and write in the classroom all the time. Kids put on their headphones and nobody else knows what they're doing. Makes them feel much better about needing a little extra help. #edtechusf677
Audio books can really help those ELL students who can speak the language, but have a hard time reading it. I find that to be a bigger and bigger challenge in my class these days. #edtechusf677
Using audio can really help those students who can't stand reading. It gives them an alternative to just staring at the walls and not reading at all. #edtechusf677
Started off slow but had a pretty powerful ending. Makes me think that my problems seem pretty small compared to what some people are dealing with. #edtechusf677
